SECTION URBAN CRITERIA
The canonical model promotes a city section with a numerous striated boundar-
ies that act as advocates of the impervious edge. There is also the additional
demarcation of a first floor public upper floors private within existing edifices.
The section works to reinforce the canonicals ability to define and discriminate
between the norm and the other.

The transgressive counterpart is a coating of smoothed fabric that removes the
thresholds of the impervious edge. While mapping the current deviant condi-
tions, I realized this does not address equal access in the vertical dimension, and
began to project the smoothing as a sectional device that starts to accelerate
one of the many early transgressive tools.
